"Master, Master, I am your disciple! You must save me!" Yu Tong was so terrified that he could barely speak.
"When did I become your master?" the Undying Divine Lord said coldly. Su Chen was unfathomable to him and gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. If he were to fight Su Chen, he was certain that he would never be his match. Therefore, he could not afford to offend Su Chen because of a mere Yu Tong.
Secondly, he and Yu Tong have absolutely no feelings for each other, so it's even less likely that he'll protect her. Even if Yu Tong were truly his disciple and there were some master-disciple affection between them, he would still decisively give up. For someone of his level, feelings are something that no longer exist.
"Didn't you say that whoever finds you first will receive your inheritance and become your disciple?" Yu Tong was struck dumb, his face turned deathly pale, and the last glimmer of hope in his mind was extinguished in an instant, turning into deep despair.
"Did I say that?" The Undying Divine Lord asked expressionlessly, his tone indifferent, clearly unwilling to admit what he had said.
"You old bastard, you lied to me!" Yu Tong broke down, his expression contorted with rage, and roared.
"Insolence!" The Undying Divine Lord felt his dignity had been challenged and was immediately enraged. A thunderbolt descended from the sky, carrying boundless divine power, and struck Yu Tong. As expected, Yu Tong was cleaved into a bloody mist, leaving not even ashes behind.
The eye in the void vanished, and the nine-story pagoda shone brightly, radiating multicolored divine light. A man stepped out and appeared before Su Chen and Yan Qingwu, bowing to them and saying apologetically, "I apologize. I lost control just now and killed him. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist."
The man exuded no aura, appearing as ordinary as a mortal. If not told otherwise, who would know that he was one of the strongest beings in the universe, the Undying Divine Lord?
"Do you want to forgive him?" Su Chen ignored the Undying Divine Lord and instead asked Yan Qingwu beside him, making the Undying Divine Lord somewhat embarrassed. His gaze also turned to Yan Qingwu, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"He's dead, so be it." Yan Qingwu shook her head slightly, though she felt a pang of regret for not having killed Yu Tong with her own hands.
"Gentlemen, would you like to come inside the tower to talk?" The Undying Divine Lord smiled and gestured for them to enter.
Su Chen glanced at the Undying Divine Lord, then took Yan Qingwu's hand and walked into the tower.
The Undying Divine Lord frowned as he watched Su Chen's retreating figure. For some reason, he felt as if he had seen Su Chen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. It was very strange.
Inside the tower.
The Undying Divine Lord waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery changed. The original dazzling starry sky transformed into a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Su Chen and Yan Qingwu sat under the pavilion, and the Undying Divine Lord poured them each a cup of tea.
"Fellow Daoist, my inheritance is rather domineering, and I'm afraid it's not suitable for your wife," the Undying Divine Lord said Youyou as he sat down.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Su Chen, her eyes overflowing with love.
"What do you think?" Su Chen also looked at Yan Qingwu, a smile appearing on his cold face.
"I feel I can do it." Yan Qingwu nodded.
Su Chen nodded and looked at the Undying Divine Lord, "You heard it too."
"Alright then, if any problems arise, please don't blame me, fellow Daoist." Seeing that he couldn't dissuade him, the Undying Divine Lord could only say this to avoid Su Chen causing him trouble later.
"If anything goes wrong, I'll kill you." Su Chen picked up his teacup, looked at the tea, and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Undying Divine Lord was completely dumbfounded. What was he thinking? Was it different from his own? Holy crap, had he always been this domineering? Was there no justice? Was there no law?
The Undying Divine Lord's face darkened. Since breaking through to the Divine Lord, this was the first time he had been threatened, and he was losing face. Just then, Su Chen glanced at him, and the Undying Divine Lord subconsciously met his gaze. In that instant, he felt that Su Chen was like the Ruler of the universe, while he was just a speck of dust, insignificant beyond measure.
A suffocating feeling washed over him, and the Undying Divine Lord's face grew increasingly pale. He felt an unprecedented fear and disbelief. He couldn't believe that such a being as Su Chen existed in the universe. Even he, a Divine Lord, felt sweating profusely and filled with terror. Just how strong was he? Divine Lord couldn't possibly possess such power. Could it be...?
The Undying Divine Lord considered a possibility, his heart trembled violently, and he gasped sharply, his mind going blank. However, as Divine Lord, the pinnacle of the God Realm, he had experienced countless things, so he quickly regained his Dao Heart. But the shock and disbelief on his face could not be concealed, because this was simply too absurd. Was this reasonable? Was this right?
The Undying Divine Lord suddenly stood up, staring intently at Su Chen, his eyes wide open, his body trembling. "You... you are that one? No, that one was clearly killed by the Calamity Clan's powerhouse, there's no way he could still be alive."
The Undying Divine Lord was in a state of confusion, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"What are you talking about?" Su Chen frowned, feeling that the Undying Divine Lord was a bit confused. Had he been scared silly? But that didn't make sense. A dignified Divine Lord shouldn't have such a fragile Dao Heart.
Yan Qingwu, standing to the side, was also completely bewildered.
"You... you've forgotten those things?" The Undying Divine Lord was taken aback.
Su Chen didn't say much, but fell into deep thought. He was sure that he had never seen the Undying Divine Lord before, Undying Divine Lord seemed to know him. That was interesting.
"System, shouldn't you explain this to me?" Su Chen thought to himself.
The system remained silent.
Seeing that the system remained silent, Su Chen didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at the Undying Divine Lord and said, "Tell me what you know."
The Undying Divine Lord frowned deeply. Could it be that he wasn't that great one? Impossible. If not, then why did they look alike? But why did he remember nothing?
Reincarnation!
The Undying Divine Lord realized a possibility: Su Chen before him might be the reincarnation of that being, which was why he didn't know his identity. The Undying Divine Lord suddenly understood and became excited. If he befriended this great being before he regained his memories, would those old guys still dare to trap him here?
Hmph, those old guys were afraid I would try to seize their universe. Seeing that my cultivation was weak, they forcibly suppressed me here, preventing me from leaving. It was really too much. I had no choice before, after all, one can't fight against many people, but now it's different. If I befriend this great man, they will all have to pay the price!
